What we really need right now is a plugin that goes and gets the latest language pack and tosses it in wp-content/languages/ for you. Then you can pick.

Are you positive it wouldn't be simple to trigger that in numerous other ways?

Thanks, Bryan

A lot of work would need to go into restructuring how those work before this could happen :/

Obviously, this would be more convenient for everyone, but more manageable for novice users. I find that the majority of users/customers still in 2012, have a very difficult time setting their language.
